Topic: X-wing underpowered

So the X-wing was supposed to be so awesome that the rebels stole it from the empire right? I don't really get why they would ever steal it. In the mod it is slow doesn't last through many hits and has 2 torpedos. It needs something to make it a better weapon. I think you guys should make it repair itself put an r2 unit in it or something. It could also use some shields. It is supposed to be a great ship but it is really the worst in the rebel fleet. In NS the goliaths tanks have repair cells on them it could be the same thing as those.

Re: X-wing underpowered

I love the X-Wing!! It takes more hits than a TF and has a higher rate of fire, as well as a boost feature. The boost allows it to turn a little quicker and its not as twitchy as the tf to line up long range shots.

He really does. Me too.
The Yavin version has 2 torps as thats all they had per fighter, lore wise.
The torps recharge so people don't just slam their fighters into the DS and come back with more. (I assume)

On other levels the X wing has 6 torps.

I can't stand it, it's not maneuverable enough.

Re: X-wing underpowered

only at Yavin the X-Wing has 2 Torps.
On all other maps he has 6 Torps (but must reload them at the Gallowfree).

The X-Wing is not an interceptor and not a bomber... but:
You can take out enemy turbolasers with the Torps an kill TIE Bombers...

Leave TIE Interceptors to A-Wings an Large Ships to the Y-Wings / B-Wings.
Any other thing on the map is your target:
TIE Fighters, TIE Bombers, Bulkfreighters...

Exactly right.

Re: X-wing underpowered

What about having an r2 unit do you think that will ever happen so they can repair themselves? Oh and shields?
